"the path for the gop's gubernatorial candidate, ken cuccinelli," the chairman says, "looks like this. if turnout is in the 30s, the low 30s, we are going to win." politico points out that in the last presidential election, voter turnout in virginia was 72%. in the last governors race, it was 40%. but the plan and the prayer and the hope of the republican party in virginia this time around is that nobody turns out. they don't want to be at 72% or at 40%. they've got to be down toward maybe 32% or lower, and then the republicans might get their way. that's the only way the republicans can win. they think 32%'s their ceiling. below that, it would be even greater. anything above that, they start to get into trouble. plus, they've got the purge on their side, so there's that. something has ticked over this year. something has been triggered or unleashed somehow in this off-off-year election cycle, where republicans have been willing to admit this in public, that they really do not want you to view. the fewer people vote, the better off republicans are. it's happening in texas, it's happen

ken cuccinelli, the republican candidate for governor, and since the shutdown he's sinking down 11 points in the polls this summer. but today his big response was to call in tea party senator rand paul who voted for the shutdown. see the pattern? their answer to rejection is to go even farther to the right. how's that for a winning strategy? let's put the fire out with more gas. good luck, republicans. joining me now is congressman john yarmouth, democrat from kentucky, and joan walsh from salon.com. thank you both for being on the show. congressman, after romney lost the election, the gop swore it was rebranding. but now we have ted cruz in iowa continuing with this myth campaign. what's going on here? >> well, reverend, it's amazing. john boehner november 7th after the election last year said we're finished with trying to repeal obama care. that battle's been won. that war's been won. now the republican party is acting like many of the japanese soldiers who kept fighting months and months and months after the japanese had surrendered. the war is over, but they are continuing to basicall

again, i think you have a situation here with ken cuccinelli, very weak candidate. the party there decided to choose their nominee through a convention rather than the typical primary. might have been different if it was bill bowling, a lieutenant governor down there. but again, i think we see that the tea party has a ceiling, especially in states like virginia. >> jimmy, we talked about this yesterday. if democrats win these five big spots here, first time in 0 years that they would have swept virginia in this way. >> that's huge. i voted this morning and i can tell you the turnout where i was was pretty high. i'm in the mountains of virginia. in a swing county by the way. but let's be clear. this is not -- again, i think this goes back to the fact that conservatives are dismayed. keep in mind, in 2009, bob mcdonnell ran on jobs, jobs, jobs, unemployment in the commonwealth of virginia was 6%. national average was far higher. we were still in recession. all he talked about, the only thing he talked about was how he was going to bring jobs to the commonwealth of vir

terry mcauliffe leads ken cuccinelli by 12 points. his largest margin in the poll yet. and when mcauliffe supporters asked what motivates their vote, as i said, nearly two-thirds, 64%, say it's the chance to vote against the republican cuccinelli. by just not being the extreme right winger, the democrat gets the bulk of the votes. this matches, by the way, almost the 65% of virginia voters who have now said they have an unfavorable opinion of the republican party nationally suggesting the force driving this election of virginia next tuesday is the negative voter feeling about the republican party nationally. gene, this is stark stuff. i know we live in washington. i know virginia's to our south across the potomac. but this is the canary in the mine that just died for the republican party. >> well, i think it did. if you look at virginia, it's a purple state. it was red, it's become more blue. it's gone for obama a couple of times. but it's very close. it's a changing state. growing hispanic population. it's like the country in some sense. >> the numbers are almost exact
